**Card of the week - July 17th - July 24th, 2015
(Milhouse remembered to actually do COTW Edition)
Pretend Magikarp/Gyarados Pikachu
We desperately needed more Pikachu Promo cards, and I am not usually one for the cutesie type cards like these but I think they are badass and really cool ideas for some Full Art Promo Cards. These come in a special box that was released to coincide with the opening of the Hiroshima Pokemon Centre.**
They are pretty awesome cards; I just wish that the Pikazard Y card from a while back would’ve been released as a Full Art as well for consistency’s sake.
I love these, I don’t know about anyone else though but my cards from my box have a tiny bit of damage on the bottom left corner, like a light bubbling effect, it’s only tiny though? Sucks cos they will definitely come back as 9s if I got them graded.
I’ve got two sets, but I’m hanging onto them to grade until I’ve got a more convenient financial position to operate out of. Even if it costs me a little resale buckage on the spare set.
I’m very happy with them. But I could go without the holofoil. Would prefer a thicker/sturdier card with just the texturing like with the XY era FAs.
One of the best cards released in a long time! Their price continues to rise steeply, especially for the sealed box. I remember one seller on ebay doubling their price overnight
